Tranmere Rovers form and stats

The story so far in the League Two for Tranmere Rovers at their home stadium (Prenton Park) is 8 wins, 5 draws and 6 defeats.

An away draw last time out for Tranmere, facing Colchester United in a game that ended 1-1. Saunders, an attacker, was the best player for the team in that fixture, scoring a rating of 7.43 (out of 10). Saunders scored one goal, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Preceding that match was the home game against Newport County that was lost 1-3.

This is expected to be a close game, with Tranmere Rovers perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Tranmere Rovers as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Tranmere Rovers has won 10 of these, drawn 1 and lost 2.

Trouble hitting the net? Looking at this team's last 10 league games, 9 have seen two goals or less.

The Tranmere Rovers fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 23 in 19 matches. From these home matches, Tranmere have conceded only 18 goals.

Harrogate Town form and stats

There's been little loot from Harrogate Town's travels as they have only collected 16 points from 18 away games in the League Two. Harrogate Town only have 4 wins to counter their 10 defeats and 4 draws.

Daly scored in Harrogate Town's previous match, the home game against Barrow that ended 1-0. Daly came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Barrow last time out, making the manager Weaver feel like a tactical genius. Defender Foulds was the best team player with a rating of 7.75. Foulds hit three key passes and won 8 of 13 duels.

A 1-3 defeat away at Crawley Town before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Harrogate playing away and similar expectations, we found 9 relevant matches. Results were 3 Harrogate Town wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats.
